Abstract:

 The Internet of Things (IoT) has become increasingly more prevalent since it was first introduced and has created many benefits that businesses and individuals use to make more intelligent decisions and a much easier life. With this sudden increase in devices connected to the Internet, there has also been an increased risk that the information these devices gather, store, and transmit can be hacked into, stolen, and used for purposes not initially intended. Given the security risk they introduce, the risk of using IoT might be greater than the benefits they provide at this present time.
